The event was held at the Jacksonville home of Matt Connell. He is CEO of Total Military Management, a company that works with carriers who service military bases.

Three separate people who were there told the Times-Union the event netted Mack more than $50,000. Mack's campaign would not confirm any numbers.

"We had yet another successful event in Jacksonville and we are honored to have the support of so many of the area's great leaders and people committed to Connie's success," wrote spokesman David James in an email.
